Normal. - The walking tour was pretty good but the mini cruise shone through its absence. However, we cross the channel with the traghetto with an extra payment of 2E (usual journey price)

A race through the streets of Venice. Bring your roller skates. - The tour should be longer because it felt rushed. There was no time for questions and barely photos as we raced across the city. The tour operator functioned in two languages which is why she needed to talk so fast that it was hard to follow. Considering the circumstances she did a good job and got us to the boat ride on time.

Do not buy this tour! - We are extremely disappointed in that tour. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 just because our guide fluently spoke Italian and Spanish WHICH WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND! We chose English language tour but our guide wasn’t too fluent in it. 2/3 of the tour we had to listen the information in languages we don’t understand. The information was very limited and I do not recommend this tour to anyone. We had to cut it half way short because it wasn’t the tour we expected.

Don’t book…DON’T WASTE YOUR $! Awful customer service. Will take your $ an hour prior…but will NOT wait 7 mins for you. - Booked tour 1 hr prior, got on the wrong water bus and so I immediately messaged the tour operator 20 mins before tour and told them we would be 10 mins late. We arrived 7 mins late…tour guide refused to wait nor answer phone. Finally called the tour agency and asked where the tour was so we could catch up and they refused. Tour Agency told me to call Viator for refund…when I called Viator to request a refund, was told the Tour Agency refused my refund. Thank you for ruining our last day in Venice and Italy and leaving us with this crappy memory of greed and no grace for 1 adult and 3 teens. Booked at 1600 Sent message at 1655 Tour started at 1715 Arrived at 1722

Why call it a tour if it isn't! - The tour had been promoted as a guided tour of the Rialto and the Jewish Ghetto with mini cruise included and instead turned out to be a race through the crowd to try to reach its conclusion in the shortest possible time, without therefore a historical and cultural deepening of the areas crossed. Shared opinion from other participants who halfway through the tour decided to leave the group...
